Abstract
Within the Latrobe Valley region of Victoria (Australia), the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV) currently operates five brown coal-fired power stations. These stations have a number of features in common, one being that each requires large volumes of water for operation. Presently, three power stations, the Yallourn Power Station (YPS), the Yallourn “W” Power Station (YWPS), and the Loy Yang “A” Power Station (LYAPS), draw a significant percentage of water from the Latrobe River. This massive consumption of water has created significant environmental problems in the Latrobe River. In conjunction with the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), the SECV is attempting to minimize the environmental impact of its operations.
